For David’s 21st I knew an ordinary cake would not suffice. He loves his New Mexican heritage so I decided to do ‘The Cake of the Dead’ based on the Mexican festival of paying homage to those who have died. Though it seemed macabre, the Mexicans see the occasion as a celebration so I didn’t think it was inappropriate. The cake was greatly appreciated!
For GD’s surprise 30th I went for the dirty thirty theme and made naughty nipple cakes. I did not expect to be embarrassed in the process. But when GD’s Mum joined me at An Iced Affair and I told Dimity my idea, I was horrified when Dimity asked me “what sort of nipples are you making? Asian or caucasian?” You see, I had not told GD’s Mum what I was making. I bought beige, pink and flesh toned colouring so that I could contemplate this rather personal decision at home. I mixed up a bit of this and a bit of that and this was the end result.
